Hardware Cloth Below Run

[Kalobis]

Good day!

I made a lot of chicken coop progress in the nice weather this weekend!

I have the walls of the run hardware clothed, and will build a shingled roof on top, but what about these gaps below the walls? Clearly I need to run hardware cloth, but not sure how best to go around the concrete tubes.

You'll want an apron, but yeah getting around those piers won't be fun.
I'd just go around the curve on the vertical, cutting off the apron there.

Good examples of anti-dig apron installation.

Oh, those are great threads, thanks for sharing!

I'd add 2x6 pt to take up most of that gap. Then add the HC apron.
I did the similar thing to my coop and run.

Looks good! I will consult with the boss (my wife) and get that gap wired up nicely, thanks!
